The band’s new album Culture Clash is out now, and you can order it at. But like their first record, it’s not just a show-off fest of three very capable musicians the nine songs on Culture Clash are also masterworks of creativity and musicality.” –
“ brimming with tasteful and virtuosic playing from each member. “It’s a team effort though… Minnemann’s drumming is sublime, while tracks such as “Ohhhh Noooo” see Beller hard at work as Guthrie builds evolving, Zappa-esque riffs around his mobile, creative basslines.” – Guitarist Mag But even so, after listening to Culture Clash, we’re left pondering how Guthrie Govan gets equipment up the ramp of his flying saucer after gigs in a flightcase fitted with castors?” Highlights include the arpeggiator-like 16ths on "Dance of the Aristocrats" and the "Bright Size Life"-ready bass solo in "Gaping Head Wound." - E.E. The chops are fierce, the tones are primo (check out Beller on "Ohhhh Noooo"), and the moods cover the spectrum, from groovy to menacing to playful to thrashing to introspective. As the title hints, stepping across stylistic boundaries is what Bryan Beller, Guthrie Govan, and Marco Minnemann aim to do, and their pursuit of no-holds barred fun - as well as their virtuosic command of their instruments - is a blast to hear. “Oh, that all modern instrumental music was this soulful and interesting.
These musicians are all in the upper echelon of their craft…” – “As you’d expect from this cast of characters, the resulting jamfuckery of music is equal parts fusion, funk, jazz, prog rock and metal, and all parts awesome. See what the press is saying about Culture Clash: Boasting elements of jazz, rock, metal, fusion and more, this genre-defying release has truly proven to be a bona fide crossover hit! THE ARISTOCRATS are pleased to announce that their new release Culture Clash is a Top 10 record! The album has charted at #8 on the Billboard Contemporary Jazz Album charts and #16 on the Billboard Jazz charts within the first week.
